CHICAGO GRAIN AND PROVISIONS ¥eatures of the Trading and Closin Prices on Board of Trade. CHICAGO, Aug. 28.—Lowest velues for the crep were registered by wheat today at the opening. Thore was a temporary rally on covering by shorts, but offer- ings became freer and the market de- clined again, closing irregular, 1% lower to % higher at 97% for September and 9% for December. Corn, after a nervous opening a shade higher to ' lower, firmed up on the forecast of unsettled weather in the northwest and closing strong % to %c net higher with Septem- ber at 3% and December at 63%@65%. Onts, after a lttle early strength, which followed a weak opening, declined and closed to % lower, provisions closed dull and easler, 7% lower to 2% higher. The low prices which marked the open- “ing of the wheat market was the signal for a rush of buying, mostly on the part of shorts, who weére prompted largely by a sharp upturn at Minneapolis where mills were buying heavily. Values here ad- vanced materially but free offerings brought out a reaction In a little while, weakening in the northwest markets algo being . factor in the decline here. The latter half of the session In this wheat pit was marked by a steady de- cline, Favorable weather conditions were predicted and news came from the northwest that country offerings were fncreasing and a large movement was e ted next week. 'he strength manifested by oorn in the first hour continued to the finish ex- cept for a slight decline after the top ts had been ceached. The rally was quick and dccisive. Shorts were large buyers and acted on forecast of frost for northwostern states nand continued small movements of cash corn. Oats sagged at the opening to the lowest prices recorded by the crop. There was a falr rally on short covering In sympathy with other grain, and on pros- ts of unsettied weather. The close as near the low point of the day. There was little Lusiness in the provi- sion market, Pork and ribs showed th- molt active, but throughout the list A declining tendency.

MANCIESTER, England, July 2%.—An interesting feature of the wartimo demand for coal is that It has brought about the reopening of hundreds of derelict mines |in the remote valleys of the Pennine | range, & long line of hills that strotches {from the vicinity of Manchester straight north to the Scottish border. The emtire region lies above Immense tields of coal, but difficulties of transportstion and lack of capital have heretofore prevented any extensive development. As the great coal districts of South- ern Lancashire and Yorkshire become de- pleted, more attention must be paild to these upland deposits and the problem of reaching them with transportation facilf- tles must be met. At present there is |no raflway which reaches with'n twenty { miles of the most accessible fields. Wartime prices, however, attention to these old mine {primitive way the owners and tenants have begun flecking out a few hundred tons here and theie and marketing It at various points, which can be reached by horse transport. The mines are worked in old-time fashion by a few colliers each. There is little attempt at timbering, and the levels are constructed to drain nat- urally. The seams are approximately a yard in thickness and as they pass level into the moors are easily workable Some of the mines were opened up many &enerations ago and later abandoncd; a few have been worked in half-hearted ' {fashion untll galleries a couple of miles long have been cut.

BUDAPEST, July %.—A Hungarian of- ficer, describing the fighting on the Tyro- lese mountain peaks, & mile above sea level states that the most difficult problem for the staff is to maintain the supply of food to the troops. On account of the high altitude and the continuous physical strain, they need good supplies |and plenty of them. The officer pays a tribute to the work of the Red Cross, "Our wounded have to be carrled down In sheets tied to the ends of sticks, and It takes a dczen men to carry ona down,” he remarks. Scout duty s particularly dangerous, except for skilled Alpinists, and many of these never return. Touching on the remarkable echoes thrown back by the mountain peaks, the officer says: ‘*The roar of the guns is heard twice, thrice, or perhaps a dozen times, the echo throw- ing the sounds back and forth, and | transforming a s'ngle report into a fusil. {lade. Many of our men have been ren- dered unconsclous or even driven mad |by the fearful nolse of the guns in the jrarified atmosphere of these high alti- | tudes.” The same officer in another letter do- seribed an attack by the Itallans on the positions held by his troops. “It was after 9 o'clock In the evening when the Ttaltan Infantry began to climb the {mountain and storm the positions. We lay low behind the rocks and poured a Ifunlll«dn of fire upon them as they came up in three lines. That was easy. But isome terrible and trying moments for !our troops came after this. The Itallans having been reinforced by another bri. |gade, came In & oh force and with such determination that the hot barrels of our | rifles could do no more. A fourth brigade |was then seen in reserve trotting up | behind. “They surprised the advanced positions, a whole company fell into thelr hands and they came on agninst the heavy |fire of our infantry and artfilery »» courngeously and undisturbed that even thelr most gnllant adversary, Malor Turndiia, remarked: ‘“Honor and resvect to those Itallans: they behave beautifully, |7 would not have expected anything elso’.” Wante Velwarsa?

Tdison expects more rapld progress in the future than the past has ever known | T asked him to tell me something of his eatimate of what his Invention of the eleotric lamp really has accompl'shed. “Tt seems to have been the starting point for the whole era of electrical de- velopment,” he answered. “You see,” he {went on, slowly, “as soon as the light was proved to he a practical thing it was | plain that it was of paramount import- | ance. 1t was clear that it must speedily and completely be developed. T estimate that 3 er cent of the work of develop- Ing our present electr'c lghting system wan devoted to the perfection of the lamp and that 87 per cent was devoted to the perfection of the system which makes the lamp avallable for practical useful- nesa. ““The problems Involved in the distribu- thon of electricity for lghting purposes throughout large commun'ties and fta sale to the consumer, by meter measure- ment, involved an enormous amount of study and hard labor. To make each light Independont of all other lights was a great task, “About the only help I had In the development of the eleotr'c Mght lay In the fact that the sclentific world waa all against me, and recited Ohm's law to prove the oase. “It was an interesting situation. 1 turned the Ohm's law around and aid vhat was regarded as the opposite of that which it provided for, and found that it applied to the reversed aituation per- fectly. But I wasn't satisfied with this #uccess, T wanted to furnish power as #pread through the streets. “Presently we put the world's first eleo- tric rallway Into operation at Menlo Park, and I was sure that the idea was practical. Its development needed money, though, and capital was hositant. In- deed, T was assured by the grestest finan- ofal figures in Wall street that this #scheme of operating rallroads by eloc- tricity was the craziest idea that ever had been advanced by anyone assuming to be sane. “I had carefully gathered all the figures of the cost of horse cars and their opers- tion and was sure that the substitutfon of electrie power for horse power would result in an enormous saving. Indeed, 1 knew, and my knowledge was exact. 1 knew ' electric traction was the coming thing, and a very big thing. But it fooled me. Had Underestimat It “It was bigger than I thought it wam I had made a better guess than Wall street had, but my guess had been far from adequately prophetio. It was so big that It amased me. It Increased traffic startlingly. As a matter of fact, electrie traction has increased street car traffio, I estimate, by 00 per cent. “The first electric cars revealed a facllity of operation and & repldity ot movement which no one but mysel? scemed to have expected, “Their multiplicat'on of trafflc was enormous, their effect upon street ra'l- way receipts was very great. Then the men in Wall street, who had declared them to be a crazy dream, began to spec- ulate In electrio traction stock, They | ¢! have been at it ever since. Wiectriolty Expands . “T don't belleve the electric light has ever stirred much sentiment In me. I had so much trouble and worry In con- nection with the perfection and introduo- tion of the lights that I never have had time for sentiment about them, “'I belleve they have expanded what we may describo as ‘day,’ and that that has Increased the possibilities of effective hu- man effort. I rather like to think of that. “Everything which decreases the sum total of man's sleep Increases the sum total of man's capabilities. There really s no reason why men should go to bed at all, and the man of the future will spend far less time in bed than the man of the present does, just as the man of the present spends far less time in bed than the man of the past aid. “As & matter of fact a very simple bit of arithmetical figuring wiil show that by and by humanity will have to live in double shifts. so that there may be room upon the earth for all the people.” “But war still helps to keep the pop- ulation down,” I commented, ““The day of life In double shifts will come in spite of war. Medical sclence will save more lives this year than wai will take, no matter how terrifically mur- derous that war may be. “In the old days man went up and down with the sun.
